Szot SA and Womack M. 1987. A Small Mammal Survey on Prairie Management Unit Five at George Washington Carver National Monument
A small mammal survey was conducted on prairie unit number five, at George Washington Carver National Monument. The study sampled the small mammal species present and estimated the population density in the prairie. Five mammal species were present: Microtis ochrogaster (prairie vole), Sigmoden hispidus (cotton rat), Cryptotis parva (least shrew), and Reithrodontomys fulvescens (harvest mouse). Observations of the small mammal movement, and male/female ratios were also figured.
